As communicators we are accustomed to unpredictability, operating with a radar and compass simultaneously while also driving change. But recent years have tested our limits. Today’s world is one of extremes and chaos: A global realignment toward a multipolar world. Political polarization turbocharged by mis/disinformation and an echo chamber environment. An existential struggle to stave off the intensifying effects of climate change. The potential for AI to bring about a technological golden age and/or a dystopian nightmare.
Amid this backdrop, CCOs emerge as increasingly indispensable leaders in the C-Suite and boardroom. We bring about solutions that demand collaborative approaches and respect for the interests of all stakeholders.
At the Spring Seminar, we will explore these themes and their implications for our profession as we draw strength, inspiration and insights from leading thinkers and one another.

As communicators we understand the importance of leading through uncertainty, but recent years have pushed us to new limits. From Fortune 500 veteran to disruptor CEO, Stacey Tank's career exemplifies the adaptability and resilience required for success in a rapidly changing world. We'll explore her fascinating insights as she moved from CCO to CTO to her current role as CEO of Bespoke Beauty Brands. Through these transitions, she's spearheaded growth strategies, championed sustainability initiatives and revolutionized billion-dollar businesses like The Home Depot.
